Microsoft may be doubling the base amount of Achievement points in Xbox Live Arcade titles.
According to a report from Xbox 360 Achievements, Microsoft will soon increase the base amount of Achievement points in Xbox Live Arcade titles to 400 points from their current base of 200.
Currently, XBLA games are released with a base score of 200 Gamerpoints and a maximum of 20 Achievements. Developers can add up to five Achievements for 50 additional points via downloadable content. The report claims that the new base will be 400 points, with up to 100 points able to be added via DLC. In addition, up to eight Achievements may be added per quarter for up to one year, leading to a new maximum of 800 points.
The shift will allegedly take place on June 1st. Publishers who release a game between April 1st and May 31st "have an option of which policy they would like to use," leading up to the new policy becoming mandatory in June.
This is only a rumor for now, but we've reached out to Microsoft for comment. Would you like to see Achievement scores double for XBLA games? Let us know in the comments below.
